Insofar as Japanese luxury = doilies, it’s too luxurious for America.

Erm, people will want to have sex in the back of these. A 3-across bench is vastly superior to something with a chunky center console in the way.

Sadly, the JD Powers and CR stats seem to bear this out. The newer Volvos are not reliable / durable cars. There’s a lot to go wrong in a car that has a supercharger, a turbocharger, *and* a hybrid system.

What color is your Charger? I’ve noticed that the ones in Skittles colors seem to have really smooth, even paint. The ones that are from the regular grey/silver/white color chart are more orange peel-y.

They’ll develop a whole bespoke engine for a car with production volume of 600/year, but they won’t develop a manual-transmission Supra. The fuck?

^^^ This. This is why air-cooled 911s cost so damn much, and 996s and Boxsters...don’t.

I think your answer is exactly the right one. These things were crazy comfortable and quiet when they were new, and they even handled pretty well. Just make it as new-feeling as possible.

There is a 24 Hours of Lemons team that dropped the LS400 motor and transmission in a Volvo, then built their own transmission control computer and flappy-paddle setup so they could paddle shift it. It is, I have to admit, damn fast.

Could you take the 4WD system from an EcoSport and put it into the Fiesta on which the EcoSport is based? I’d take a 4WD Fiesta ST, even if the engine were still in the front.

And also, more sparkly metallic.

Have you *seen* Ferrari-licensed shoes? They are as tacky as anything I can imagine.

Wait, what the hell even happened there?

According to Ferrari, their customer demographics are >80% new money:

Bullshit. Very few Ferrari owners fit this description. Generally the Ferrari demographic are people who built and own their own businesses, and I guarantee we do not hate on other people who are building a business and market their products aggressively. (Not particularly old, either: Average age of a first-time…

Nah. I tried daily-driving my Testarossa for about a week. Truly a failed experiment. That long, low nose was bonking on *everything*. Good car for road trips, bad car for commuting. I miss looking at that car in the garage. I don’t miss driving it.

Yeah, my experience with the GT3RS (at least the 991.2) is that it’s even stiffer and noisier than the 570S. Admittedly I haven’t driven the 600LT or the 992 GT3 yet.

And that Senna would get walked by a Radical SR3 or Formula Atlantic car that costs about 1/10th the price. That’s the thing about these un-streetable track cars. If you’re going to have to trailer it to the track anyway, why not get a *real* purpose-built race car?

I just got back from the UK, and it’s safe to say that it rains *inside* many garages. The real estate agents were like “oh, you’d want a garage that’s fully sealed? That will cost quite a bit extra.”

An ‘80s Monte Carlo. My team has demanded a car that can actually pass on the straights instead of solely in corners. We’ll see how they like the tradeoff. 

Indeed, especially those X1/9s. I considered it, but I’m already building another Lemons car. Also, the last time I tried to ship a non-running vehicle across the country, it was a total shitshow.
